Book Reviews of Drawing Faeries: a Believer's Guide
Book Review: ANOTHER GREAT RESOURCE AND TOOL. VERY HELPFUL!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned a copy of this work for a couple of years now and I enjoy it now as much as the day I bought it. I am strictly an amature sketcher. I have had some formal training, but nothing to get up and shout about. My sketches would probably rate about a C+ from my old teachers, and truth be told, the + would be added simply because I never missed a class. Be that as it me, I have found this work to be useful. I love drawing insects, delicate flowers and plants, and yes, faeries! Now I will say that this book is probably not the best for the beginner as is is a bit beyond basic. Now that being said, kids sometimes surprise you and with a book like this can pick it up almost instantly. The author does cover detailed color, faces, body, life, customs and traditons of the fairy folk, friends and foes. The narrative is quite well done and easy to understand. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful and very detailed. This is not a step by step book, but one of those books that I classify as "inspirational," i.e. if I practice long enough, maybe, just maybe, I can turn something like this out. I have dozens and dozens of art books in my library and use all of them. No single book can fill all of your needs but each book can add to your knowledge. This is one of those books. Now, as to the argument going on here whether or not faries are real....I have spent a large amount of my life living and working in various extremely isolated places around the world. Late in the evening, deep in the forest and in open glades....well, it may be that it is just wishful thinking on my part. Do recommend this work highly and recommend you add it to your own collection.
Summary of Drawing Faeries: a Believer's Guide
Aimed at all those who love fantasy art, this latest instruction guide from best-selling author Christopher Hart deals with all the popular ingredients of the faerie kingdom-faerie personalities, faeries at work, faeries at play, faerie expressions, faeries in flight, faerie magic, faeries facing predatory household pets, and the secret faerie rituals of birth, courtship, and marriage. Step-by-step instructions for drawing faeries are revealed through a captivating story of a man-now grown up-who as a youth gained secret knowledge of where the faeries live and play, and having done so, was able to capture on paper the elusive creatures in their unguarded moments. The overall design and presentation of the book will enchant and envelop artists in a magical world of faeries.Graphic Design Books
